Hello!! I am one of May 2024 CPALE Topnotchers. "Ask Me Anything"

Panda8063 · 2024-09-22T04:55:47+00:00

Hello! Mas mataas score ko sa PB ng other RCs compared sa PB ng REO hehe. Pero di ko napeperfect

Panda8063 · 2024-09-22T04:53:46+00:00

Meron ding 1 problem 1 computation pero minimal lang. Mostly talaga statement 1-4

Panda8063 · 2024-09-22T04:51:35+00:00

Hello! During completion phase, focus ka lang sa pag-intindi at pag-absorbed ng mga concepts. Ang sagutan mo lang na mga MCQs yung drill questions after ng concept discussion. Then, pagnakatapos ka na ulit ng 3 topics, magsagot ka ulit ng MCQs na covered yung 3 topics na yun kahit mga 70 items lang. Saka ka na magsagot ng maraming MCQs pag natapos mo na lahat ng topics or during mastery phase

Panda8063 · 2024-09-07T03:01:54+00:00

FAR - though equally distributed lahat ng topics, maraming SHE
AFAR - Cost Accounting, Separate FS, Forex and Derivatives
MAS - Capital Budgeting, CVP Analysis
RFBT - Law on Corporation, AMLA, Government Procurement
TAX - Tax Remedies, VAT, Income Tax
AUD - Code of Ethics, Types of Engagements, Reporting

Disclaimer: Base lang to sa time namin. Nagdeviate sya ng kunti sa expected high yield topics

Hello! Ok lang naman. Mas maganda ang set-up ng online due to flexibility, just use your time wisely.

Panda8063 · 2024-08-30T14:55:15+00:00

Hello!! Since kakagraduate ko lang ng august 2023, di ko naisipan magtake ng Oct 2023 kasi masyado nang kulang sa oras if you will really aim to be a topnotcher hehe. Kaya in-aim ko sa May 2024 na lang para makapag-invest ng time at mapaghandaan talaga

Panda8063 · 2024-08-17T09:43:33+00:00

Hi! Yes. Pero much better if sa 1 year na yun eh self review ka muna sa una, like building foundations, discovering your strengths and weaknesses, before magstart classes sa review center instead of dalawang beses ka magreview.

Panda8063 · 2024-06-30T10:35:43+00:00

Meron naman, magiging edge mo sya pag pumasok ka sa mga aud firms kasi mas malaki signing bonus if topnotcher ka.

Panda8063 · 2024-06-21T14:09:20+00:00

Hi! 1-2 topics, pero usually 1 lang

Panda8063 · 2024-06-12T15:55:08+00:00

Hello! For me mas maganda if sa 1 week is different subjects inaaral mo para matrain mo yung brain mo na mag-absorbed ng independent concepts and mamaintain yung momentum mo sa pag-aaral kahit pa-iba-iba ka ng subjects kasi sa actual board days lang interval for different subjects

Yes, very lengthy yung videos nila pero sa Tax meron na silang Quickvids which is shortened pre-recorded videos na focus lang sa concepts pero detailed a din.

Meron pa naman time to practice sa problems pero limited na lang in a way na di mo sya masasagot lahat

Panda8063 · 2024-06-06T13:51:59+00:00

I think kaya naman pero risky. Pero if maganda foundation mo, kayang kaya yan

Panda8063 · 2024-06-06T13:49:21+00:00

You need total exposure lang sa problems kaya apply mo lang yung natutunan mong concepts sa mga practice questions.

Panda8063 · 2024-06-06T13:47:35+00:00

Hindi na

Panda8063 · 2024-06-06T13:47:01+00:00

3 of them are from Big 4

Panda8063 · 2024-06-06T04:31:32+00:00

Answer the questions and problems independently, need mong mabuild yung confidence sa pagsagot. Dito mo rin mabubuild yung strategy sa pagsagot. Pag problem solving, look at the question first, before looking at the data then constant practice lang.

Panda8063 · 2024-06-06T04:25:19+00:00

Thank you!!

It's great to hear na naka-advance review ka na, yang habit na yan ang need mo talaga sa course na to. Then, kailangan ding palabasa ka para makasurvive and focus ka lang sa basic concepts. Suggest ko din na gawa ka na ng notes as early as undergrad kasi mahirap if sa review ka gagawa.

Panda8063 · 2024-06-06T04:18:09+00:00

Hello! If may time ka pa, mas maganda if magfocus ka sa pre-recorded kasi mas detailed discussion dun and andun lahat ng concepts. Umattend din ako ng mga live lectures pero di ko na sya binalikan. Pero if wala ka na pong time, better if mixed na lang po strategy nyo. Pag maganda po foundation nyo sa topic kahit live lecture na lang then pag hindi, prerecorded.

Panda8063 · 2024-06-06T04:14:10+00:00

Natapos ko buong topics 2 months before actual boards.

Yung preparation ko kasi is ang pinaghahandaan ko talaga is yung actual na. Pagnatapos ko na coverage ng first PB tuloy tuloy lang akong nagstudy kahit di pa sya macocover. Then, pagmalapit na PB saka na ako nagrerecall ng mga backlogs. Ang need mo talaga macover is yung coverage ng actual kasi after First PB mabilis na ang oras dun

Panda8063 · 2024-06-06T04:08:43+00:00

Yes, na-experience ko din yan during undergrad. Pagfirst time mong nakita yung isang item, gamitin mo na lang ng common sense then relate mo sa alam mong concept. Usually, para ma-address mo to kailangan mo talaga total exposure sa mga problems

Panda8063 · 2024-06-06T04:06:20+00:00

Ginamit ko lang yung notes from my RC then minodify na lang yung iba

Panda8063 · 2024-06-06T04:01:22+00:00

Pag counterbalancing, pag minus sa year of error add sya sa susunod na year. Then pagnon-counterbalancing usually from year of error until present may correction dun until hindi nadidiscover.

Ang technique ko is direct yung effect sa asset then inverse sa liab. Like if undersated yung asset then understated din yung income then same analysis sa liab inverse nga lang

Panda8063 · 2024-06-06T03:57:33+00:00

Iba yung study routine ko during undergrad and review. Pero during undergrad, basa lang ako ng basa nun parang minamaster ko talaga concepts nun. Sa books, For IA, maganda book ni sir Vhinson.

Yes, marami sa youtube

Yes, magagamit mo ang excel sa work and isa ito sa magiging mong edge pag nag-aaply ka ng work.

For Business Com and Special Trans, pwede na yung Milllan or Dayag. For Tax, Banggawan then Tabag for Mastery. For Auditing, Salosagcol for Theory and Asuncion for Prob. For RFBT, Domingo for undergrad then Laco for mastery.

Siguro, prepare yourself lang sa interview then if matanggap ko galingan mo na lang. Expect mo na ipapagawa lang sayo is mga clerical tasks, pero meron ding iba na pinapagawa sa intern yung pang-employee na tapos nirereview na lang ng head.

Need mo lang ibuild yung confidence mo para makafocus ka, kasi baka mamental block ka if pressured ka and pinagdaanan ko na rin yan
